Few news outlets have reported on the fact, but the Rise of the Moors group that was in a standoff with police in Massachusetts are members of the Moorish Science Temple of America, a group founded in the 1910s by a black American who called himself Noble Drew Ali. Noble Drew Ali put together the group’s scripture, the Holy Koran of the Moorish Holy Temple of Science, out of existing works of esoteric spirituality, combined with his own writings. It is not the Qur’an of Islam, although Noble Drew Ali claimed that black Americans were Moors, descendants of Moroccans, and the group identifies itself as Islamic. The Nation of Islam is a breakaway group from the Moorish Science Temple of America, and teaches some of the same race hatred combined with Islam. The Moorish Science Temple asserts that the Dred Scott decision is still in effect, and thus black Americans are not citizens of the United States. That’s why they unfurled the Moroccan flag during this standoff with police and asserted that they were not subject to the laws of the United States.
This is an extremely interesting group, but it is unlikely that any mainstream Sunni or Shi’ite authority would consider it to be remotely Islamic.
“Group in armed standoff with police say they’re the ‘aboriginal people’ of America,” by Peter Aitken, Fox News, July 4, 2021:
Massachusetts police arrested 11 people Saturday morning who claimed to be part of a group called “Rise of the Moors” following an almost seven-hour standoff that shut down an interstate.
The heavily armed group posted videos throughout the standoff, claiming to be peaceful and to abide by the “federal laws and judicial opinions” of the United States.
Rise of the Moors has a strong online presence, with a website and social media, including a YouTube channel, an Instagram page and a Facebook page.
The group’s website says “We are Moorish Americans dedicated to educating new Moors and influencing our Elders.”
Jamhal Talib Abdullah Bey is identified as the Moorish American Consular Post Head for the group: His biography lists him as having previously served in the Marines.
The term Moors refers to Muslim inhabitants of North Africa and southern Europe. The group claims, on its website, to descend from a wide range of peoples, including “the Olmecs, Moabites, Canaanites, Hittites,” among others, but mainly a strong relationship of American-Moroccans.
Specifically, though, the group asserts that Moors are the “aboriginal people” of America, and that they assert not their sovereignty but their “nationality” as Moorish-Americans, “to which the sovereign power is vested in.”
During the early hours of the standoff, between Lynnfield and Stoneham, video posted by the group to its YouTube channel showed two men standing in the middle of Interstate 95 holding a Moroccan flag. A State Patrol trooper initially responded and later requested backup.
The group’s website draws strong connections with Morocco, asserting that the term Moor does not refer to Black people but to people from Morocco, and that all “people branded as Dominicans, Haitians, Tainos, etc. do not come from blacks, they are descendants of Moors.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the Moorish sovereign citizen movement as a “collection of independent organizations and lone individuals that emerged in the early 1990s as an offshoot of the antigovernment sovereign citizens movement, which believes that individual citizens hold sovereignty over, and are independent of, federal and state government.”…
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a group of evil liars with a far-Left, hateful agenda of enabling the enemies of freedom. Nothing they say can be trusted. No news organization should ever treat the SPLC as if it were a neutral, reliable source of information. Any news organization that does this has discredited itself. Fox used to be generally reliable, but has degenerated considerably in recent years.

Explanation of Islamic supremacism: 1) Muslim lives matter 2) non-Muslim kafir lives DON’T matter. 3) lie about 1) and 2) to cover up.

Robert Spencer points out the mainstream Sunnite Islam would consider the ‘Rise of Islam’ group off-beat, and even heretical. The Islamic term for ‘heresy’ is ‘bida’ which literally means ‘INNOVATION’. Whatever is found in the original ‘SALAFI’ (pioneer) version of Islam is considered by Sunnite Muslims to be authentic. In an Islamic state, the ‘Rise of Islam’ group would be persecuted for ‘bida’, if not encouraged to leave the country.
Many Muslims have more freedom to practice their faith in non-Muslim countries than in Muslim-majority countries, because of the intolerance of the religious majority there. Muslims of the ‘wrong’ sect of Islam are often persecuted as badly as those of other non-Muslim religions.
It is fascinating that the ‘Rise of Islam’ sect doesn’t neglect the JIHAD DOCTRINE of armed warfare against disbelievers.
Keith O says
Mortimer, Thanks for that bit of info on the term BIDA. It makes a lot of sense that Islam would consider any for of innovation or evolution to be heretical.
This is why they are stuck in the past with their thoughts and behaviours.

Muslims do generally hate black Muslim groups–but they still count these people as Muslims because it is useful to them.
Brenrod says
Even though they considered the Farrakhan black Muslims to be heretical they still financed them as a subversive group in the USA and elsewhere.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
What is wrong with the FBI who pronounce the greatest threat to the USA is from the right.
Well the if the FBI is so clueless, the rest of humanity will tell you: its the Democrats, and Muslim extremist.

That is why they chose 9/12/2001 as the beginning date of data-gathering to “prove” white supremacist groups have killed more Americans than jihadists…rather than, let’s say, 1/1/2000. Because they don’t want to count what happened the day BEFORE 9/12/2001.
gravenimage says
Yep.
But even this does not work, sonce there have been many Jihad terror attacks since.
Steve says
How many of these fools know that Islam is responsible for more creating more African slaves than any other group.

Good question, Steve.
Brenrod says
And Caucasian slaves.
The Moore’s took many slaves over centuries from Europe, where is my reparations?

This is one very confused group. They are from Africa, they claim. But, the claim to be the “aboriginal people of America.”
According to the dictionary…doesn’t matter which one, except don’t use the *language* of mozlums as they have their own dictionary with special meanings for all words…
aboriginal is defined as:
“inhabiting or existing in a land from the earliest times or from before the arrival of colonists; indigenous”
They can’t be *original* to America and be from Africa.
By the time slaves were brought from Africa…sold to others by mozlums…there were “original” people already living in America and some not so “original.”
According to what they say, they claimed not to be of the Sovereign Citizen group, but were acting very much like they don’t believe American Law applies to them.
One favorite thing of Sovereign Citizens is to not pay taxes, buy things from the government that are required (as in licenses), etc.
But, this group seemed to just want the attention by stopping in the middle of an interstate highway and not obeying orders from the police. claiming that they do “obey” the laws.
When mozlums aren’t committing terror attacks, they are doing other things to gain attention, to try to appear to be “special,” and to stand out from all others, while claiming not to be different, claiming at the same time, to be *different.*
These kinds of things are beginning to get really tiresome.
Rep cori bush would probably jump all over this as a *sign* that she was right to claim American *freedom* is only for White people.
Pam says
I couldn’t help but think these could be one of Cori Bush’s future husband in the making. Her hate is equal to theirs.
somehistory says
If they were allowed to have multiple husbands, perhaps more than one of these creeps could be hers. She does have a large hate going on. Some have said she hates herself, and likely that is a big part of it. Blaming White people for her inner feelings of …

I had never heard of the rise of the Moors before, so I went to YouTube to see who they are. This guy was all over the place and a big talker, yet in his live video you could tell he needed a change of underwear lol. In the comments on YouTube the people who follow this guy start their comments with Islam, or end their comments with Islam. In simple english, they think one day they are going to over through our Government. I don’t think were they stand right now they have the knowledge to be capable of doing so, what I see being really dangerous is, they are out of the woodwork now, and there are going to be lots of easily brainwashed followers joining them. If all charges stick, the ones arrested maybe seeing some time in federal prison, and they’ll be recruiting in there. It’s bad when nutjobs like these don’t shock us anymore when we hear about them.

“Rise of the Moorish” has to be an allusion to the conquest of Spain. Muslims still believe Spain is rightfully theirs, because it was conquered by the Moors back in the 8th century and that the Reconquista was a great injustice . They also believe that it was the Moors who brought Spain out of the so called dark Middle Ages, which of course is completely false from beginning to end. Muslims seriously need to ask themselves how they can keep taking credit for Western advancements with a straight face, when their own Muslim countries remain stagnant, under-developed, and dependent on us.
Myron J. Poltroonian says
That is a question that will never, ever be asked in our “Woke” society. Only we “Neanderthaler’s” would be so crude as to point out the truth.

Massachusetts: Black nationalist group in armed standoff with police claims to be Moroccan and Muslim

More of the link between Islam and violent black supremacy–similar to the Nation of Islam.

Have cops investigated their destination “training camp” in Maine? Or are we going to treat it with kid gloves like the Governmrnt has with Islamberg, NY training camp?
Something tells me that FDR and AG Frank Biddle would not have allowed a Panzer SS group to openly create a “training ground” anywhere on US soil during WWII…. but that goes without saying.
Not sure why Trump did not shut Islamberg down. In fact, a couple of inquisitive US citizens were arrested trying to infiltrate it as they were fed up with the lack of obvious action.
